open the calculator provided in the spoiler. Input char level as being the same or greater than monster level. Set def to your def. set monsters attack to around 832 (approx the same as death teddies) the damage will come out as 374. (first screenshot) try half of 832 (416) you won't be taking 15x damage. powerguard is not the major player in damage reduction by a long shot. It in no situation accounts for 50% of your damage reduction. yes, you take roughly half of the touch damage you would off with it off, but you need to keep in mind your defense is already working on that reduction you just can see this difference because you can't turn off defense. For a more visble comparison, take damage from a threatened teddy. compare the damage reduction on a skill that says 30% to a skill that says 50%. What the skill says does not entirely account for its effect.
Thought of another good example that would be easy to test. Change your def in the calculator to be half of your actual def. (916) The damage comes out to be 600. half of that would be 300. No powergaurd =/= half your defense + powerguard.
